## What is LittleAnchor?

When your child is melting down, you don't have time to search for advice.

LittleAnchor puts calm, expert-backed steps in your hand the moment you need them, so you can steady your child even when you're running on empty. It's the in-the-moment companion for tantrums, meltdowns, and big feelings that catch you off guard.

Grounded in co-regulation science, the "name it to tame it" approach, and collaborative problem-solving.


WHEN THE STORM HITS
• Guided Calm Path: one clear step at a time, so you always know what to do next
• Breathing, movement & grounding tools your child can actually follow mid-meltdown
• Parent-first calm: a quick anchor for YOU first, because your calm is what regulates theirs
• Gentle prompts to name big feelings and bring the nervous system back online

BEFORE THE STORM - Get Ready (new)
• Prep for the moments you know are coming: the errand, bedtime, the car ride, drop-off
• A 60-second anchor for you and a connection cue for your child, before the hard moment starts

AFTER THE STORM - Reflect (new)
• A 20-second check-in the instant things settle: what worked, how YOU are doing
• Shareable "win cards" to remember the storms you rode out together

UNDERSTAND YOUR CHILD (Premium)
